Children's Food Fund/World Emergency Relief

You'll "give children a living chance" worldwide, including cancer patients, disaster victims, refugees, orphans and sexually abused children. Your support delivers urgently needed help to kids most in need.

 

Why do we exist?

Untold millions of people - and the programs helping them - need practical resources to survive. Starving children need food. The sick need medicine. Farmers need seeds. Children who are naked and shivering need clothing.  At-risk communities need fire trucks.  When disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes occur, the victims need emergency relief aid.   Women and children who are sexually abused exploited need protection and healing. 

Children’s Food Fund/World Emergency Relief (CFF/WER) works with local organizations to fight poverty and hunger, while also providing relief for victims of disaster, conflict and despair. In addition to delivering emergency relief, we develop programs offering long-term health care, nutrition, education and vocational training to assist future generations in breaking destructive cycles and healing their communities. We send needed relief supplies (including food, medicine and clothing) to an average of 30 different countries a year.

Our vision is to give children all over the world a living chance by addressing their physical, emotional, spiritual, educational and economic needs, as the needs of their families and communities.

What have you accomplished?

  • In 1991, we joined with four other NGOs to develop global best practices for commodity humanitarian aid (AERDO Standards).
  • Over the past three years, we provided an average of $10,666,638 worth of global relief a year.
  • We support ongoing projects including feeding centers, health clinics, orphanages, schools, vocational training, and rehabilitation programs.  Project countries include Cambodia, Honduras, Liberia, Kenya, the Philippines, Romania and Thailand.
  • In 2006, we shipped over 2,904,837 pounds of relief supplies to communities in 20 countries.
